Hi everyone,

Jmol prerelease 10.9.63 is available for download at 
http://www.jmol.org/files/
We want to release 11.0 in a near future, so test as much as you can so 
we can fix bugs and deliver and really stable 11.0 :)

What needs to be done still before 11.0 :
- fixing a bug in the internationalisation mechanisms (application / 
applet distinction)
- fixing bug 1524187: memory hole: parent Component + Jmol don't get 
finalized 
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1524187&group_id=23629&atid=379133>
- other things ? (please tell us if you think some things should be in 11.0)

====================================

Jmol 10.9.63 adds four new features:

--easier showing of information
--molecular electrostatic potentials (finally!)
--selectionHalos command
--save/restore selection

see http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/examples-11/new.htm
for interactive examples.


easier showing of information
-----------------------------

With Jmol 10.9.63 you can use the pop-up menu item "show" to show all 
sorts of information about the model. This information pops up in a 
console window that appears in front of the web page. This can be done 
in script as well, using the "console" command.

console on;getProperty fileContents
console on;show orientation


molecular electrostatic potentials
----------------------------------

WE NEED TESTERS TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS.

Jmol 10.9.63 introduces <b>isosurface MEP</b>, with which you can 
display molecular electrostatic potentials. These potentials are 
calculated from partial charge data present in a file; Jmol cannot 
calculate these charges.

# Just the MEP:
load CH3F.smol;isosurface delete resolution 6 mep
load C6H6.smol;isosurface delete resolution 6 mep
# MEP mapped onto a surface:
load CH3F.smol;isosurface delete resolution 6 solvent map mep
load C6H6.smol;isosurface delete solvent map mep
load C6H6.smol;isosurface delete resolution 3 solvent map mep
# This one may take some time:
load C6H6.smol;isosurface delete resolution 6 solvent map mep
# Though somewhat slow, these can be saved as JVXL files:
console on;show isosurface
# and then loaded instantly:
load C6H6-mep.jvxl;isosurface ""


selectionHalos command
----------------------

Jmol 10.9.63 simplifies the selectionHalo business by introducing the 
<b>selectionHalos</b> command. It's the equivalent of "set 
showSelections" or "set display selected" but it\'s simpler and 
corresponds better with the <b>color selectionHalos</b> command.

load caffeine.xyz;select _N
selectionHalos on
color selectionHalos red
color halos blue
select *
color selectionHalos yellow
color halos none
color selectionHalos none


save/restore selection
----------------------

Jmol 10.9.63 allows saving and restoring of the current selection set.
Note that this is quite different from "define" because it saves and 
restores
the precise set of atoms currently selected, not *why* they were selected.

load caffeine.xyz;selectionHalos on
select _C; save selection X
# now move the model around
save orientation X
load caffeine.xyz;restore orientation X 1;restore selection 
X;selectionHalos on
